My Endless Life.

Chapter 129 Sorry, I'm so hungry

"What...what's going on?! Where's Rubino?!"

Ronnie, who crossed the dividing line between the fog zone and the safe zone and failed to see the sunset and the city, looked at the white fog in front of him and made sounds of shock and panic.

Not only Ronnie, but all the newcomers to the Wu family had confusion and fear in their eyes.

Why is it still a foggy area after emerging from the foggy area?
Where did Rubino Castle go?

Compared with the newcomers, Carol and Li Qi seemed very calm.

"Kid...something happened."

Carol stared at the thick fog in front of her and whispered to Li Qi.

Li Qi also looked at the thick fog and responded casually:
“You can tell by looking at it.”

The fog area has enveloped Lubino, and only the city walls vaguely appearing in the fog prove that they have come to the right place.

Thinking about the fog area descending into the safe zone a few days ago, Li Qi knew that the people from the Light Chasing Society must have done something again.

Since it was the Light Chasing Society that did it, then Rubino City might be very dangerous right now. Going in rashly might lead to something bad...

"Rumi...Emma...Grandpa Dean! No! I want to go in!!!"

While Li Qi was considering whether to risk entering the city, Ronnie could not help but run forward.

He shouted anxiously and rushed inside.

Li Qi frowned, raised his right hand, and several silk threads wrapped around Ronnie, pulling him back.

"Idiot, are you so eager to rush in and die?"

Li Qi kicked Ronnie's butt mercilessly.

Ronnie ignored the pain in his buttocks and said to Li Qi anxiously:
"Teacher! Rumi and the others, as well as the dean and grandpa..."

"I know! But the situation in the city has not been fully understood yet. Are you looking for death by rushing in so hastily?"

Li Qi scolded coldly.

Looking at the fading color on the city wall, you can tell that the foggy area here is in the category of colorless plains.

Although it is likely only temporary, it also means that there are fog beasts from the colorless plains inside.

The fog beasts in the colorless plains are larger than those in the first layer of fog area, and are more threatening.

And there are also monsters created by the Light Chaser Society in it.

Before figuring out the dangers in the city, Li Qi didn't dare to go deep into it. If Ronnie just ran in like this, if he encountered the multi-headed monster like he encountered that night, he would probably die without knowing how he died.

But... maybe he can get away with it by relying on his own aura of destiny...

Li Qi glanced at Ronnie, loosened his restraints, then looked at the novice Mist Explorers in the team and said to Carol:
"Aunt Carol, I'm a little worried about everyone in the orphanage, so I'm taking Ronnie back to the orphanage first. As for the rest of them..."

"Let them find a safe place to hide!"

Carol said without hesitation. She turned around and looked at the new Mist Explorers:
“After returning from the foggy area, they have become official fog explorers and do not need anyone to lead them.

"If they are really scared, it's not too late for them to go back to the safety of the Eternal Forest. We don't need to worry about their safety."

Carol's words sounded a bit inhumane, but they did make sense.

When they returned safely from the foggy area, they had become mist-level fog explorers.

No matter what your level or strength is, since you have become a Tanwujia, you must have the determination and courage of a Tanwujia.

If you just blindly seek the protection of the powerful, you are not qualified to become a Tanwu family.

If these newcomers don't even have their own decisions and only know how to seek protection from above, then they are not qualified fog explorers at all.

Carol wouldn't care about them.

Li Qi didn't intend to bring a bunch of burdens with him. He looked at the group of newcomers and said bluntly:
"That's what happened. You should have heard what Senior Carol said. You can either come into the city with us, or go to the Eternal Forest and find a safe place to rest. It's up to you to decide which one to choose."

The newcomers looked at each other, and after a while a red-haired boy walked out. He bowed to Carol and Li Qi and said:

"Thanks to the help of the two seniors, we know what to do next."

Hearing the red-haired boy's words, Carol nodded approvingly.

Having gotten rid of the group of burdens, Li Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ronnie and said:

"Let's go back to the welfare home first."

"Yes!"

Ronnie, who had been impatient for a long time, responded immediately.

Carol hesitated for a moment, and instead of joining Li Qi, she said:

"I'll go back to the association first. If you don't have anything to do, just go to the association and find me."

"understood."

Li Qi responded casually.

The Fog Explorers Association is the place with the largest number of Fog Explorers in the entire city of Rubino. In other words, it is also the safest place in the entire city.

After Li Qi and Ronnie have investigated the orphanage and confirmed that nothing is wrong, they will definitely take people to the association for refuge, provided that there are indeed victims in the orphanage who are shrouded in the fog.

Li Qi has now discovered that in the foggy area where the safe zone descends, it seems that not everyone can enter.

At least……

Li Qi did not see the ordinary people guarding the city gate who were supposed to be there.

After entering the city, Li Qi and Carol separated and took Ronnie straight to the welfare home.

The city was all gray and white, a sign that it was shrouded by a colorless plain, but surprisingly, the two did not encounter any monsters.

Even the fog beast was not encountered.

It seems like there is only fog here.

But no matter what, not encountering monsters was a good thing. The two quickly came to the door of the welfare home. Looking at the tightly closed door, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The orphanage did not appear to have been invaded by monsters, and there were no signs of life inside.

This proves that most ordinary people in the city were not caught in the fog area.

Most of the people in the welfare home are ordinary people.

"That's great, the welfare home is fine..."

Ronnie breathed a sigh of relief that the orphanage was safe and sound.

But Li Qi disagreed. He looked solemnly into the welfare home and stretched out his hand to push open the door in front of him.

Although Ronnie didn't understand what Li Qi was doing, he also wanted to go into the welfare home to take a look, so he didn't stop him and followed Li Qi into the home.

Then...the two of them saw a 'person' with his back to them next to the yard of the welfare home.

The man seemed to be eating something.

"This dress...is it An?" Ronnie looked at the dress the person was wearing and was a little surprised.

An is the oldest girl in the welfare home and was also the first girl to sign the contract at the last contract ceremony.

Ronnie remembered that she signed a contract for a dagger-shaped relic, which was level three.

Logically speaking, she was qualified to become a member of the Tanwu family, but An did not choose to become one in the end. Instead, she chose to return to the welfare home to help the director, grandfather, manage the affairs of the home.

Ronnie felt it was a pity at first.

Although the relic that An signed was a standard relic, the third level was definitely better than the fourth level relic 'Crystal' that he originally thought of. It was a pity that he could not become a Tanwu family.

Thinking about this, Ronnie took a step forward and was about to call Ann.

"An, what's going on here..."

"Don't go there."

But when he was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by Li Qi.

"teacher?"

Ronnie looked at Li Qi in surprise.

Li Qi stared at An's back solemnly and whispered, "Something's not right."

"?"

A question mark appeared above Ronnie's head, and he turned his gaze to Ann again.

Perhaps because she heard the two people's voices, An's body paused. She slowly turned around and looked at the two people behind her.

And the moment Ronnie saw Ann's face, he held his breath.

That is An...but it is not An.

The pretty girl with a brown ponytail now had swollen cheeks and a widened mouth. Her teeth were like daggers and covered her mouth. Her lively eyes had turned blood red.

Bloody tears flowed from the deep red eyes.

"…install?"

Ronnie's throat was dry and he called the other person's name in a hoarse voice.

The girl's body trembled, more and more blood and tears flowed from her eyes, and she made an unclear sound:

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean it... I... I'm so hungry... I'm so hungry... I'm sorry..."

"Eh?"

At first Ronnie didn't quite understand what Ann was talking about.

When Ann stood up, revealing the 'corpse' behind her, Ronnie finally understood what the girl meant by that.

Behind the girl was a severely mutilated body.

Judging from the corpse's attire, he should also be a member of the welfare home, and also the lucky one who signed a contract with the relic that day.

Ronnie barely managed to identify the man and realized that he was an older brother who seemed to have some feelings for An.

And at this moment, more than half of the big brother’s body disappeared.

Looking at the blood on Anri's teeth and her constant mumbling of apologies, Ronnie understood everything in an instant.

"vomit--!"

Thinking of this, Ronnie felt nauseous and turned over and retched.

When Li Qi saw An, he sighed slightly, pulled the silk thread in his hand, and Adam crawled out of the box behind him.

"…Can you ever regain your sanity, Ann?"

He whispered the other person's name softly.

The girl just cried and the blood and saliva in her mouth mixed and dripped onto the ground.

She murmured:

"I'm sorry... I'm so hungry... You guys smell so good... so good..."

Her gaze finally fell on Li Qi, and the remaining rationality in her eyes disappeared completely.

Finally, desire overcame humanity, and An screamed and rushed towards Li Qi:

"It smells so good! Give me a bite! Just one bite!!"

"Ugh……"

With a slight sigh, Li Qi hooked his fingers, and a hole quickly appeared in Adam's left hand. The shell hidden inside flew out quickly and hit An.

boom!
As the firelight faded, An's body was blown away.

But apart from his clothes being torn to pieces by the explosion and some skin injuries, An was fine.

An was blown away and fell to the ground with his limbs twisted rapidly.

Her body and limbs seemed to have grown larger, and the muscles beneath her skin were almost about to burst through the epidermis.

A long tongue stretched out from a mouth full of sharp metal teeth, and the whole person changed in an even more weird and terrifying direction.

“Give it to me—!!!”

She seemed to have turned into a wild beast dominated by the desire for gluttony, and pounced on Li Qi again frantically.

Li Qi did not dodge this time and was caught by An.

"teacher!!!"

Ronnie came back to his senses from the nausea and saw Li Qi being knocked down by An, his eyes widened and he exclaimed.

But soon Ronnie discovered that Li Qi, who was knocked down by An, disappeared like a reflection in the water.

It turned out that Li Qi who was standing there was just an illusion!
As soon as he realized this, Ronnie noticed Li Qi standing behind Ann.

The two of them stood with their backs facing each other, as if they were standing in an alternating position.

An was still crawling on the ground. Li Qi pulled with his ten fingers, and silver threads extended from his hands to An's body.

"Feel sorry."

Ronnie heard Li Qi say sorry to Ann.

then……

Pat, pat—

There was a sound of something falling to the ground.

Ronnie looked in An's direction and saw that An's body was like neatly cut pieces of meat, falling to the ground piece by piece!

It's a line.

It's silk thread!
Li Qi used the string that controlled the puppet to cut An's body into pieces!
